A junior football team have led tributes to a former player who died following a disturbance near a pub in the early hours of New Year's Day.

Shaun Woodburn, 30, was found with serious injuries at around 2am in Great Junction Street, Leith, and taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he died later on Sunday.

Bonnyrigg Rose described Mr Woodburn as a true gentleman who played for the club between 2012 and 2015.

A tribute posted on the Bonnyrigg Rose website read: "We would like to express our deepest condolences to the young family and friends of Shaun Woodburn who passed away in tragic circumstances yesterday.

"Shaun was a true gentleman during his time at the club, from February 2012 to July 2015 before he decided to take a break from football to concentrate on his young family.

"He didn't have a bad word to say about anyone and nobody had a bad word to say about him, which makes this all the harder to understand.

"Still only 30 he had his whole young life ahead of him to look forward to. Am sure like many of our supporters who have heard the news over the past 24 hours and who knew Shaun, we are truly heartbroken.

"We also offer our condolences to Newtongrange Star, Whitehill Welfare and Loanhead Amatuers who will be coming to terms with this terrible news in the same way that we are.

"Our flag is currently flying at half mast at the ground and tributes to Shaun can be laid at our new entrance gates near the dressing rooms."
